Page 10 - Benchmark: Thief
Thief is one of the three changes to our standard graphics benchmarking set here at APH Networks since last year. The Thief series has a pretty long history in the video game world, dating back to 1998. I would not be surprised if the first game is older than some of the readers on this website, haha. The latest release is also the newest game in the set; developed by Eidos Montreal, and published by Square Enix on February 25, 2014. It runs on a modified Unreal Engine 3 with DirectX 11 support. It is reasonably taxing on our hardware, and it also feature a decent in-game benchmarking tool for easy results comparison. Run at 1920x1200 and adjusting only the anisotropic filtering setting, the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 960 4GB once again delivered results as expected. At maximum settings, it was not exactly the smoothest of all, but the minimum recorded FPS had a decent improvement over the GTX 760 sample we used. The factory overclocked G1 Gaming GTX 960 4GB was about 10-15% faster than the GTX 760 on average, depending on the test. Compared to the NVIDIA specification card, it was about 3-4% faster, which was expected.
